About the area
|
|
We are approximately 10 minutes from the A1, 9 miles north of Alnwick and 20 miles south of Berwick.
To reach Brunton, please follow the directions below.
From the A1, take the B6347 heading east off the A1 signed for Christon Bank and Seahouses.
After 2 miles, the B6347 turns right by a private drive with double gate pillars, at this point you take the left hand fork. Continue for another mile, turn right at the T junction towards Seahouses.
When the road turns sharply right, go straight on passing sign in BLACK saying ‘Brunton no through road’. (Do not take the road signed Brunton with a red surround).
Go under a railway bridge, past a row of bungalows on your right, round a bend, and a row of cottages on your left.
The road continues through farm buildings on both sides before going over a bridge.
There the road divides into three tracks, take the centre one, rather grassy, and it’ll bring you through the gate to the front door. Welcome!

Dunstanburgh Castle & Embleton
Perched high up on its promontory and protected by cliff and sea, Dunstanburgh Castle is a magnificent sight. A gentle walk along beautiful Embleton Bay will take you right up to its walls where you can either explore the ruins at length or continue along the coast to the delightful village of Craster. North from Embleton Bay takes you to Low Newton, a whitewashed gaggle of houses gathered round the Ship Inn on the beach.
Alnwick
9 miles inland, Alnwick has its own palatial castle, home to the Dukes of Northumberland and now also to the Duchess’s world famous gardening project – cascade, walled garden, rose garden and arboretum.
The Playhouse has good repertory theatre, film and occasional concerts. Barter Books in the old railway station has 350,000 books on its 8000 sq. ft and a model train that runs round the lot – a must for all booklovers and train enthusiasts.
Holy Island
To the north, Holy Island lies just off the coast and is connected to the mainland by causeway at low tide. Visited by pilgrims as well as lovers of nature and history, the attractions include the Abbey ruins, a well-thought out visitor centre and 16th century Lindisfarne Castle, converted into an Edwardian house by Lutyens with later garden by Gertrude Jekyll.
Farne Islands
Home to an extraordinary number of migrant birds, these famous islands can be visited from Seahouses. Guillemots, Razorbills, Eider Ducks, Terns, 70, 000 puffins and an estimated half a million Fulmars. Breeding season is the best time to visit and runs from May to July.
Bamburgh
En route to Holy Island, the small village of Bamburgh has an impressive history. Briefly capital of the Kingdom of Northumbria, it has an imposing cascastle, a fine village green, good restaurant, tea room and last but not least, The Grace Darling Museum – dedicated to the local Victorian heroine who rowed across stormy seas to save nine people from a sinking steamboat in 1838.
